I expected when Obama got all this coverage for his Obamacare.. the comments meant something like Healthcare Insurance we have here in Germany. Or is it really the case that Germany got the best healthcare system in the world? I mean the system here is pretty.. well, expensive (in a sense, you can call it a sort of income tax) but nobody here is ever financially ruined because he fell ill. Though it will definitely be a financially drain on you if you end up requiring 10 different prescriptions that are non-standard (ie, not under coverage) and you end up requiring the social security payments (they are relatively low).

German health care is very good, but obviously you are paying for it out of your income taxes. Obama already can't fund Obamacare the way he intends it (which I'm sure will do WONDERS for our debt and deficits), there would be no way on earth he could ever get the money to turn it into a social healthcare system like they have in Europe. At least not without raising each tax bracket by like 15% minimum.
